The cover of “Lisa”, the new single in symphonic version by Gustavo Cerati.
It is the recording of the performance with which the Argentine artist began the historic presentation tour of the then unreleased album 11 symphonic episodes mounted in 2001, which led him to perform in six theaters in some of the major cities of Latin America: Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Santiago de Chile, Quito and Zaragoza.
As the title indicates, with the number “14” instead of “11”, the new album will add three new songs / episodes not included in the repertoire of the original project, one of which is precisely Lisa (Live Symphony).

Classics from Soda Stereo and from Gustavo’s solo career, showing all his vocal talent in the style of a velvety crooner, accompanied by the Camerata de las Américas orchestra, with arrangements and conducting by Alejandro Terán.

Unreal Engine technology was used to make this XR video, with a technique in which many of the pieces were created, modeled and painted inside virtual reality helmets.

The scenarios that were developed for it have a close connection with the imagery of the song: in the case of Lisa, a dream journey through the underwater world proposed by the text. Many of the elements that we find animated in the video also belong to Gustavo’s personal life.
